Peter Gordon's Detox Fennel Scrambled Eggs

For a weekend brunch I love eggs, and these ones are delicious served on toast with a few chunks of avocado and sliced tomatoes! This may seem a strange thing to do with tea – but the fennel in the tea goes really well with creamy scrambled eggs. 

To serve 2, you will need: 2 teaspoons loose leaf Dr Jackson’s Detox Tea (or the contents from 1 Dr Jackson's Detox tea bag), 100mL cream, ¼ head of fennel (around 50 - 60g) finely chopped or grated, 4 organic eggs, 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, basil or parsley leaves for garnish.

Place the Detox Tea in a small saucepan with the cream and 30mL (2 tablespoons) water.

Add ¼ of the fennel and bring to a simmer, then cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Turn the heat off and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.

Strain into a heat-proof bowl.

Add the eggs to the cream mixture, along with salt and pepper, and gently whisk together.

In a non-stick pan, sauté the remaining fennel in the olive oil over medium heat, stirring often, until lightly caramelised.

Pour the egg mixture onto the caramelised fennel and reduce the heat a little.

Cook until the eggs are just setting, gently stirring constantly.

Serve straight away, with some herbs sprinkled on top.
